The Run for the Roses Derby Banner Printable

If you’d like to make a Run for the Roses banner is very simple.

Print out the images from the bundle. Cut out each individual letter flag.

Punch a small hole in the top two corners of the letter. String onto a piece of baker’s twine.

Here’s a tip: To hang your banner on your wall or fireplace mantle, use a couple of clear command hooks.

How to Make the Award Ribbon Rosettes

They are SUPER simple to make. Remember when you were a kid and you folded paper accordion style? Well, that’s all you do for this!

Supply List for Rosettes:

  • Two pieces of 2″ x 12” wide cardstock
  • Rosette Centers from the free printable
  • Hot Glue & Gun
  • Ribbon to Match

Glue the two pieces of cardstock together along the short side. Fold them to make the rosette, please see the full rosette tutorial for precise instructions.

Next print out the rosette centers, cut out and glue them using your hot glue gun, to the folded scrapbook paper. To finish glue two pieces of ribbon to the back.

Kentucky Derby Subway Art

The Kentucky Derby Subway Art Printable is sized 8×10- I made it that size in case you wanted to print it and put it in a picture frame.  

I recommend printing the image on textured cardstock. The textured cardstock really does make a HUGE difference in how nice these printables look after they come out of the printer.

If you want your printable to be slightly larger, you can mount it on a piece of patterned paper as shown in the example photo.

The Custom Plate Centers

I think the plates might be some of my favorites!  The paper sits on the back of the plate so you can still eat off the plate.

To make these simply put the pretty side of the paper facing up and nestle it in the little round circle on the back of the Chinet plate.

How to Make Cupcake Picks

Supplies:

  • 2 1/2″ circle punch (you can use a scallop or plain circle)
  • Cardstock
  • Toothpicks
  • Tape – I recommend clear scotch tape.

The cupcake images on the printable are square. Punch them out with a 2 1/2” circle punch. Then use a bit of tape to tape a toothpick to the back and insert it into your cupcake.

That’s it! I hope it has answered your questions about the printables!

    About those adorable bow ties, you wrote in the original post that there
